Tim Mckright

Tim Mckright, who literally wrote the text book that most jewelers use as a reference, taught a workshop at my school. He's been working with metal for over 40 years and knows the subject inside and out. However, the workshop he taught was primitive metalsmithing and getting back to the basics. He showed us how to pour an ingot and make our own steel tools using just the objects on hand and with no special equipment. Pretty much just fire and forging. It was really fun and here's the 2 pieces I made out of a single silver ingot I poured and forged.
